What is this?
A graphical desktop client for the Clash proxy, built on the Tauri framework — it gives the Clash core a point-and-click interface instead of raw config files.

The star count looks impressive.Development has stopped: the repository is archived, so it is read-only and will not receive new features, updates or fixes — newer work lives in community forks.

Clash Verge wraps it in a normal desktop interface, so switching nodes, toggling the system proxy and managing subscription profiles become clicks rather than hand-edited YAML.

Released installers keep working as-is; you simply will not get updates, bug fixes or official support going forward.
